I made this little guy (and I will make at least one more) to tie to my luggage so when I go places, I don't have to guess which of the thousands of mundane, black suitcases is mine.  He was about eight inches before baking, and is about 3.5 inches now.

For those who don't know, Shrinky-Dinks are special, plastic-like "paper" that one can draw on, color, and cut.  Then one bakes the object in the oven for a while, and it shrinks to about one-third its original size and gets seven times thicker, forming a hard, plastic...thing.  They make great miniatures for roleplaying, too.

Micron pen and colored pencil.  Dec. 2005.

That's awesome! I haven't made a shrinky dink in years. This is really great! I love it. And it's gotta be a great addition to your bag. Certainly makes it easier to find yours. =)
